MAN, regarding a railroad to be built from
Marble Falls westward through Llano

of no little comment on the streets. So
much has been said and sung concerning
proposed and possible lines of road
through this section of country that
many doubling Thomases have been
developed, but the statement in The
ETATEsMAN that the money is in
Austin with which to push the road
through caused general pricking up of
ears among even the most skeptical. Can

SUPREME COURT.

List of Cases Decided by the Supreme
Court Tribunal Yesterday.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
TYLER, November 15.-Five cases were
acted upon by the supreme court to day,
with results in each as indicated.
AFFIRMED.
Harky vs.. Gain, from Hunt county.
Helpin VS.. Shelter, from The Titus.
Cleveland county vs.. Sims, from Ma
varro county.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
City of Austin vs.. Austin, Coal company,
from Travis.
The Judgment rendered in the latter
case holds the clause of the ordinance of
the city of Austin which exempts the
property of the gas company from taxa
tion, to be void, and declares the injustice
of restraining the collection of the same.
The case of Reeves county VS.. Hughes
county, which was reported back from
affirmance by the commissioner of ap
peals, was disposed of as recommended.
This was a suit by Reeves county, form
erly part of Pecos county, to recover the
latter taxes collected by it from citizens
within the territory of the pro-
posed new county between the
passage of the act creating the county of
Reeves and the time the county organiza-
tion was perfected. 1t was alleged that
Pecos wrongfully decided ordering the
election in the county, and afterwards
withheld certificate of election from the
officers elected, and meanwhile continued
to collect taxes as stated. The court here
hold that the action was not maintainable.

number of rough characters in the city who
have come hither since the advent of cold
weather. A number of persons, whose
Business delays them late at night, have
been halted on the streets. Several have
been assaulted and robbed of their
valuables. Last night, about half after
10, the Rev. j. Eastern Brown, who only
recently came here and assumed the pas
torship of the Presbyterian church, was
returning from a visit to friend, where
he had been engaged in taking lesson In
Spanish. When near the church in which
he holds forth every Sunday, he was as
saulted by two men, who secured him by
the collar of his overcoat and struck him
on the head and cut him with knife on
the right shoulder, on the neck, and six
Zines in the breast. His hat also had
two long slashes through it, Two of the
breast cuts went through his overcoat,
dress coat and vest, and the knife evident
~ struck in the padding of the vest. His
face bears the marks of four scars-two
on the forehead and one on the neok-and
Che heel of the left shoe was wrenched off.
Although severely stunned by the
blows received, and looking like de-
feated pugilist, the young minister ap-
peared on the street to-day and narrated
his adventure to his friends. Owing to
the darkness of the night he is unable to
give any description of the villains who
assaulted him.

CHICAGO.
There Was Not an American Face
in the Anarchist Funeral
Procession.
Water Famine in Southern Illinois
The Hatch Failure in New
York For 81 100000.

CHICAGO, November l4.-The News says, edi-
torialy:
"No true hearted American citizen could view
the anarchist procession, marched through the
streets of Chicago, without emotions of conflicting
nature, 1t was display at ptiful ana reasur-
ing. That something more than hve thousand per-
sons-men, women and children--ehould avail
themselves of the funeral of five murderers, to
advertise their sympathy with lawlessness,
must be regretted In the procession
were no flags or banners expressing
society, but every breast was pinned the blood
red sign of revolution and de tructi0n. In place of
banners, floral designs were born aloft, the word
"martyrs" being the favorite. Among these, vie
ing with the white dove in its inappropriateness,
the red flag, that In obedience to the mayors pro-
hihtion was banished from the air, rested on the
collins of the hanged Eugel and the eelf-deetrOyed
Lingg Behind the hearae bearing the body of
Parsons followed what must he regarded as the
remnant of No. 1907, suspended Knights
of Labor assembly, of which he was member.
Otherwise there WAS no indication that the great
labor organization had any sympathy with anarchy
or mourned its executive leaders. Clearing the
way, before the procession, marched a Grand
Army veteran bearing cheap fourth of July copy
of the stars and stripes emblazoned with the bat
ties in which he had fought. This was the only
flag displayed along the march. lts presence was
the freak of q half cracked brain resented by the
anarchists They had been prohibited from carrying
red flags and they appealed to the polce to prevent
the veteran from Haunting the stars and stripes be
fore the corpses of their brethren For once the
police would fain have obliged the anarchists, bat
they dared not The old man shook his flag In
the face of anarchy and said he had brayed death
under its folds upon the battlefield and he was
prepared to die under it now. Then the police
started to prevent this affront to anarchy
In the presence of its dead, but the
crowd upon the sidewalk surged forward and
cheering for the old veteran and for the ma
tional emblem, forced the police back. From Lake
street viaduct to the depot the stars and stripes
held its place ahead of the procession and was
cheered all along the route. This was significant
of the temper of the ctizeusIof Chicago In all the
procession as far as the eye OF the spectator could
determine not an American face could be seen.

The Dead Anarchists Families.

CHICAGO, November 15.-It is an
nounced that the Amnesty society and
defense committee will join forces and
assume the esponsibility of providing for
the families of the dead anarchists, and a
permanent fund will be started for that
purpose. There will be, after the final
accounting of the expenses of the funeral,
a surplus of about 800 or $4,000 in the
hands of the defense committee, which
will be divided among the families of the
dead anarchists. 1t is intended to make
this new organization national in extent.
There is another object in establishing
this fund: Another of the leaders of yes
terday said he expected that there would
be more money required for purposes of
defense. He did not expect that the
prosecutions would stop here, but thought
that Others who made themselves con-
spicuous in the movement would be pros
ecuted under various charges, and that
would necessitate a permanent defense
fund.

WANT OF WATER.
Result of Dry Weather IN Southern Illi-
nois--Water Famine,

CHICAGO, November 14.-The probabilities of a
water famine In central and southern Illinois are
becoming alarming. At Springfield, up to and in
cluding yesterday there is a deficiency of eighteen
inches of rainfall for the year. as compared with
the average precipitated for the same por.
ton of the year for the last eight
sllght excess over the average, SO
thst the deficiency has all occurred since then
On account of the long drouth preceding the 0c-
tober dryness, the water supply is at minimum.
United States deputy marshal, Just returned
from Hamilton county, says he found farmers
hauling their water ten miles for culinary uses
He relates a case In Wayne county where
farmer, who is great breeder
of fine and fancy geese, and has about 200 of these
birds on his farm has TO haul water three miles
for them. The Chicago& Alton road runs daily
water trains through Springfield SOUTH and there
is scarcely road in southern Illinois that is not
more OF less engaged In the same bnsiness, some
of them employing all the facilities they can COM
mand for that purpose.
The city of Litchfeld, which has an excellent
water supply, is deriving handsome revenue
from the sale of water at fixed price per tank, 10

through there It is evident that, unless relief
comes before hard freezing sets in actual distress

A Rich Gold Mine.

PREsooTT, A. T., November 15.-Private
advices show that the recently discovered
gold mine, ten miles from here, on the
Hassayampa river, is richer by far than
anything ever discovered in the world.
The ore averages $1,000 per ton, and
thousands of tons of ore are in sight. Two
men, yesterday, with a common mortar,
pounded out $500 in less than one hour.
Gold clings to the rock in purest scales.
A man with a knife can scale off a hand
full in few minutes. There is every in
d1cation of ledge containing fabulous
wealth. This river has produced millions,
in years past, in placer mining, and on
one occasion pocket was found which
yielded 100000 in few weeks. People
are fiocking there in great numbers.

and A. g. Hatch formed partnership
With his son, IL i,n Hatch; hN nader LEI the the
business and was understood to have mad some
very large customers for some time back. How
ever, Mr. Hatch has been operating on the ehort
side of the market and, during the recent rise
which he was the heaviest seller was Reading, and
sharp advance, which has followed the absOrp-
ton OF almost all the floating stock by great
European syndicate, WAS too much for him. The

standing contracts on the stock exchange / can
give no statement not even a rough list OF assets
and liabilities"
On the street II was estimated that the irm'e
liabilities would amount TO over 100000.
One of the D 'ominent features of A. g. Hatch q
character was bis fOndness for missionary work
